Story4.5 out of 5 stars 170
This wildly entertaining account of the golden age of the action movie charts Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s carnage-packed journey from enmity to friendship against the backdrop of Reagan’s America and the Cold War. Revealing fascinating untold stories of the colourful characters who ascended in their wake, it tells the story of how the era of the invincible action hero who used muscle, martial arts or the perfect weapon to save the day began to fade.

Humorous, lighthearted examination of action heroes
Reviewed: 03-08-24
Loved the variety of apocryphal tales about the stars and enjoyed the (largely predictable) images of each. Really enjoyed Semlyen’s writing. While competently narrated Pinchot’s dry drawl could be, at times, slightly emotionless. Great, page turning read.
